When the Wolf Returns: An Evening about Conflict, Protection, and Coexistence
The return of the wolf stirs Germany like hardly any other nature conservation topic. The online lecture by vhs.wissen live will address the controversy on 10.05.2026 at 19:30 and combine science, practice, and current debates into a well-founded event experience for all who think about nature, politics, and social dialogue together.
Wolves between Fascination and Friction
Large predators stand for intact ecosystems, yet they trigger insecurity in agriculture, in communities, and among many people. This is exactly where the lecture takes its starting point: How can species protection succeed when interests collide? What role do those affected, politics, nature conservation, and science play? The event clearly frames the human-wildlife conflict and creates space for an objective audience atmosphere instead of short slogans.
Expert Knowledge from Four Decades of Wildlife Research
Speaker Prof. Dr. Heribert Hofer has been researching field behavior ecology and conservation of predators like wolves, cheetahs, foxes, badgers, and spotted hyenas for over forty years. His long-term projects in Europe, Tanzania, and Namibia have shaped perspectives on human-animal relationships. Particularly relevant: He combines scientific expertise with practical conservation questions and was director of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin until 2025.

Why This Evening is Worthwhile
Those who want to understand how coexistence between humans and wolves can succeed will not receive headlines here, but rather contextualization. The evening shows why sustainable species protection can only develop through dialogue and why this dialogue remains important now. A date for all seeking well-founded perspectives and wanting to experience the topic of the wolf live, critically, and openly.
